I hope that this isn't what you are actually doing. IOError is not just
for "File Not Found".
py> open("/home")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home'
py> open("/root/foo")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/foo'
